As was said above, you are already missed by those of us who don't get out of Taipei often... but, you will be missed more, no doubt, when you leave this Island.

It has been a pleasure knowing you IRL and also sharing this website with you. I too wish you and Trudi all the very best in the coming new year and after and hope that you will continue posting here.

NZ is on my list of places to visit before I leave this side of the planet, so I will be looking forward to seeing you when we do get down there in the future.

I expect to make it to the HH on Thursday.

Peace,TM

As it is, we seem to regard it as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has taken one side or the other. We regard it (in other words) as a positive objection to a reasoner that he has contrived to reach the object of his reasoning. We call a man a bigot or a slave of dogma because he is a thinker who has thought thoroughly and to a definite end.

Before you lovingly craft your PM, make like any writer and consider your audience. With all the information at your disposal, is there any possibility that the recipient will open it? Would your time be better employed?

But you shouldn't let him.
